Questions referred

Must the case-law of the Court of Justice concerning a service concession be understood as meaning that it does not extend to a complex arrangement which includes the payment of reimbursements within the authority’s organisational responsibility in the form of a direct reimbursement scheme and at the same time a system of booking journeys which is not within the authority’s responsibility?

What significance should be attached to the indirect consequence of the scheme that the purpose of the booking system is to reduce the transport costs payable from public funds by the Kansaneläkelaitos?
